A Deep Dive Into Idaho's Water Curtailment

from From the Field: Farm Chat with Idaho Wheat · host Idaho Wheat Commission

With about half of Idaho’s wheat grown under irrigation, water is critical to maintaining the volume and quality of Idaho wheat. Idaho’s water issues came to a head this spring when the Idaho Department of Water Resources issued a curtailment that pitted groundwater users and surface water users against each other. We’re diving in to the long history of water policy, misunderstandings, and misinformation swirling across the state with Paul Arrington, Executive Director of the Idaho Water Users Association, who will share the straight facts of Idaho’s water challenges, the current state of water availability, and how we move forward.
